#revealed in RTI

[coochiequeens]

A notable diversity among the artisans was identified, as men, women, and children actively participated in making figurines, challenging the preconceived notion that this was an exclusively male craft." In other words archaeologists were stunned that women also worked in the family businesses and children were trained in the family business while still young. 🤦‍♀️

An archaeological study published in the Oxford Journal of Archaeology by Leonie Hoff analyzes the fingerprints impressed on terracotta figurines found in the ancient city of Thonis-Heracleion in Egypt (located near Alexandria, with its ruins discovered 2.5 kilometers offshore and 10 meters underwater).

This analysis, which combines advanced technology with traditional archaeological methods, reveals who the artisans were that molded these pieces between the 7th and 2nd centuries BCE, offering unprecedented details about the organization of labor in ancient Egypt.

Thonis-Heracleion, a thriving Egyptian port located near the Nile’s mouth, flourished as a vital hub for trade and control between the Greek and Egyptian worlds. The city, founded in the 8th century BCE, became a cultural and economic center until its prominence was overshadowed by Alexandria. A natural disaster in the 2nd century BCE caused its collapse, and it remained hidden underwater until its rediscovery in the 1990s.

In this context, the terracotta figurines found at the site provide crucial clues about daily practices, cultural interactions, and the division of labor in a cosmopolitan community.

The study focuses on nine figurines selected from over 60 that show visible fingerprints. These impressions were analyzed using Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI), a method that measures the density and amplitude of epidermal ridge patterns in the fingerprints. These data, cross-referenced with modern studies of fingerprint density, enabled the estimation of the artisans’ sex and age.

The study highlights three key findings that redefine our understanding of artisanal production in ancient Thonis-Heracleion. First, a notable diversity among the artisans was identified, as men, women, and children actively participated in making figurines, challenging the preconceived notion that this was an exclusively male craft.

Moreover, the fingerprints reveal a collaborative process in which children, likely apprentices, worked under the supervision of adults, pointing to the existence of a structured training system within the workshops. Lastly, a significant cultural impact was observed, evidenced by the adoption of Greek techniques, such as using molds and fine materials, which were integrated with local styles and characteristics to create unique products reflecting the fusion of both cultures.

The presence of children in the workshops suggests a family-based artisanal economy, while the inclusion of women indicates a more equitable division of labor than previously assumed.

Differences between imported and locally produced figurines reflect dynamic cultural interactions. Greek objects tend to be more sophisticated and associated with predominantly male labor, while local pieces show greater diversity in participation.

This pioneering study in the use of fingerprints to understand Mediterranean archaeology lays the groundwork for broader research. Fingerprint analysis at other sites could reveal similar patterns and deepen our understanding of artisanal work and social relations in the ancient world.

When it comes to firearms, I enjoy bringing back to life old school curio and relic rifles where others might have given up. This is a Maltby Enfield No4 Mk1 from 1944 that I ordered from Royal Tiger Imports when they had a one day warehouse sale. It is always a gamble when you order from RTI - you never know what you are going to get and a lot of the time it’s not good. This gun cost me $150 and when it arrived at my door, it looked pretty hopeless. It had a loose butt stock, was missing the rear top wood, also missing the middle barrel band, and the bolt was absolutely stuck closed from rust. After banging open the bolt with a dead blow hammer, I looked down the barrel and it looked pretty rusty. Honestly everything was rusty and most people would have probably given up.

But then I noticed something - this was a numbers matching gun, including the magazine which is almost unheard of for No4 Enfields. So I persevered. I disassembled it and it turned out that almost all the rust was just surface rust. With a lot of elbow grease, I was able to get most of it off and surprisingly there was not a lot of pitting. And I deeply cleaned the barrel which revealed it was a five groove barrel and the rifling was basically intact under the surface rust. From my parts bin, I found a spare rear top wood and barrel band, tightened up the butt stock, and reassembled the gun.

The result is what you see above - the gun won’t win any beauty contests but it will more than likely be a good shooter. The stock fits well and has the appropriate level of barrel down pressure that Enfields require. I’ll try and get to the range soon to see how well she shoots.

Sussan Deyhim & Richard Horowitz - The Invisible Road: Original Recordings, 1985–1990; their 1986 album Desert Equations: Azax Attra (reissued in 2022) was a high point of vocal/electronic/world fusion, so it's a real treat to get a whole album of unreleased music from that period. It comes with a sad footnote, though: Horowitz died in April.

The Invisible Road: Original Recordings, 1985–1990 compiles an unheard, previously unreleased body of recordings by Sussan Deyhim and Richard Horowitz, dissidents from diametric backgrounds who met during the heady days of Downtown New York in the 1980s. This collection reveals the creative and life partners’ radical shared vision of avant-garde pop in all of its boundary pushing freedom, combining Deyhim’s singular approach to vocalization, Horowitz’s invention of new musical languages, and touchstones of traditional music from around the world, creating a new music that ultimately retains a voice entirely its own.

— The Invisible Road was compiled in close collaboration with Deyhim and Horowitz over several years — Mixed and edited by John Also Bennett and mastered by Frederic Alstadt from original multi-track reels — Audiophile vinyl edition, pressed at RTI, includes a 12-page booklet containing liner notes penned by Jack Denton and a plethora of unseen archival photographs

by Subhash Chandra Agrawal RTI Act implemented on 12th October 2005 in initial years of its implementation did wonders not only by exposing scams and scandals, but also resulted in systematic reforms. However, RTI rules (and not the RTI Act) need important modifications mainly to prevent misuse of the Act and minimising challenge to CIC verdicts in courts. Precious time of Information Commissions and courts should be saved through notification issued by central government to declare all public-private-partnerships, sports-bodies, cooperative-societies and other such bodies, public-authorities under RTI Act. Land and Building Departments of central and state governments should study all cases of allotment of land or government-accommodations at subsidised rates or lease, and declare all these as public-authorities under RTI Act. For future, land or government-accommodations should be provided at subsidised rates on pre-condition of beneficiaries coming under purview of RTI Act.   Since many people think that RTI applications if filed at high offices like those of President, Prime Minister, Governor, Lt Governor and Chief Minister get more attention, provision in RTI rules may be there that these offices may not act like “Post Offices” by transferring RTI applications under section 6(3) of RTI Act to concerned departments. These offices should entertain RTI applications pertaining to their respective offices only, and returning rest others to RTI applicants advising applicants to file RTI applications directly to concerned departments. Considering vast participation of public-money in private sector banks, all private sector banks must be under purview of RTI Act. Already all employees up-to highest post of CMD are public servants according to Banking Regulation Act. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had to impose restrictions on withdrawal of money for some time on a prominent private sector bank. Former CMD of another prominent private sector Bank is under arrest for serious charges of misappropriation of public-money in the Bank. Inspection Reports of private banks revealed under RTI Act by RBI reveal gross misuse of public money by top management. Another private sector bank is in notoriety for large number of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). Heavy fluctuation in share-prices of certain private sector banks tend to doubt regarding safety of public money in private sector banks. Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (RBI subsidiary) has to pay maximum rupees five lakhs from state-funds to each depositor of the bank including those in private sector which collapses due to massive irregularities, which is public-funding to declare private sector banks as “public-authorities” under section 2(h) of RTI Act. It should be compulsory for all banks (private and public) to put their respective Inspection Reports prepared by RBI on their respective websites in true spirit of Supreme Court verdict. RBI website on its website should place Inspection Reports of all banks in private and public sector.   Section 27 and 28 of RTI Act give power to Competent Authorities and state-governments to draft their own rules which include fixing of RTI fees. Several Competent Authorities and states misused their power by having RTI fees as high as rupees 500. Several states fixed RTI fees for filing First Appeals also. However Supreme Court in its verdict dated 20.03.2018 imposed a capping of rupees fifty to be maximum RTI fees.   India should be governed with the principle “One Nation-One Rule” in respect of RTI-fees by clubbing copying-charges of first twenty copied pages with basic RTI-fees of rupees ten (for central public-authorities) thus making Rupees Fifty as uniform RTI-fees throughout the country inclusive of charges of first twenty copied pages. Making basic RTI-fees at rupees fifty will largely prevent misuse of RTI Act. There must not be any fees for filing First or Second Appeals. To prevent big contractors and others misusing

the provision by filing RTI applications under names of their workers of BPL category to get copying-charges in thousands of rupees waived off, persons under BPL category may be required to pay copying-charges for copied pages exceeding twenty.   Handling cost of a postal-order of value rupees ten costs postal-department about rupees fifty with cost of handling of postal-orders by a public-authority and bank-clearing even extra. Most public-authorities require postal-orders in different names even though DoPT in its various circulars has required postal-orders towards RTI payments to be in name of Accounts-Officer only. To overcome situation, frequent CIC-verdicts and administrative-requests of CIC should be accepted by postal-department to issue special RTI-stamps (like earlier stamps for payment of licence-fees of radios and TV sets) in denominations of rupees 2, 10 and 50 which will save crores of rupees annually to public-exchequers in using postal-orders as mode of payment of RTI fees.  These RTI stamps should be conveniently available at all post-offices and counters of public-authorities and other convenient sale-points. This will tackle situation where public-authorities like National Green Tribunal (NGT) refuse acceptance of RTI fees in cash with nearest post office at Baroda House (New Delhi) not selling postal orders thus putting RTI applicants in big difficulty.   Post-free RTI-applications addressed to central public-authorities should be accepted at all about 160000 post-offices rather than just about 4500 post offices presently. It is not difficult because every post-office however small it may be, daily sends post-bag to Head Post Office with registered post, cash and unsold revenue-articles. This post-bag can carry post-free RTI-applications received at the post-office.   DoPT should issue a circular in tune with para 23 of verdict dated 02.11.2012 by Punjab & Haryana High Court in the matter “Fruit and Vegetable Union versus Unknown” (CWP 4787 of 2011) which requires ID proof compulsory to be attached with every RTI application, First Appeal and petitions filed with Information Commissions. Already the aspect has been adopted at Odisha apart from Punjab and Haryana. Those who do not want to disclose their identity, can file RTI applications through post-box hired at some post-office. Police-enquiry conducted at behest of some Indian missions abroad established that a petitioner approached Central Information Commission with name and address both of which did not exist. Online portals for filing RTI applications should be modified so that RTI-responses and orders of First Appellate Authorities may also be auto-emailed rather than RTI-applicants required to search portal for viewing of RTI-responses. SMS and email alerts about emailing of RTI-responses should also be there.   Websites designed by National Informatics Centre (NIC) for central public-authorities should be mandatorily for all states. This has become necessary for state like Odisha which has made online filing of RTI-applications a mockery when it is compulsory to download online-filled RTI-application, and then send it by post to concerned department. Furthermore, option-list for payment does not include even all the banks.   Delhi High Court in its order dated 08.08.2018 in WPC 8278 of 2018 in the matter “Anil Dutt Sharma versus Government of NCT Delhi and others” mentioned – This Court is of the prima facie view that the Right-To-Information Act, 2005 would now override the Delhi Right To Information Act, 2001 as it would occupy the entire legislative field.

"Recruitment Rejection: Delhi High Court Highlights Importance of Transparent Communication in Selection Processes"

➡️In this *Case the petitioner, Sandeep Kumar Singh, participated in a recruitment rally at the 3 EME Centre, Bhopal, in January 2018 for the post of Soldier (GD). Despite scoring above the cutoff marks and fulfilling other criteria, his candidature was rejected on the grounds that he failed in the written examination and did not meet the merit list requirements for his State.

#RecruitmentPriority #SoldierGD #EMECentre #AIACVacancies #eDMASSSoftware

➡️ The Primary legal issue in this case was whether the petitioner, who scored above the cutoff marks but was assigned a lower recruitment priority (Priority V), was wrongly denied an appointment based on miscommunication and incorrect grounds provided by the respondents.

➡️ The Petitioner Sandeep Kumar asserted that the rejection was based on incorrect grounds, as clarified through RTI responses, which revealed he scored above the cutoff marks.

→ The petitioner contended that the recruitment process conducted under All India All Caste (AIAC) vacancies should not have imposed state-specific merit list restrictions.

➡️ The Respondent State Claimed that the recruitment process prioritized candidates based on specific categories, with the petitioner categorized as Priority V due to his father being an ex-serviceman from a different regiment (Regiments of Guards, not EME).

→ Respondent State submitted that the automated software (e-DMASS) ensured the integrity of the selection process.

#TransparentCommunication #MiscommunicationinRecruitment #DelhiHighCourt

➡️ The Delhi High Court expressed

→ Dismay over the respondents' failure to communicate the true reasons for the petitioner’s non-selection, noting that such miscommunication led to unnecessary litigation. → The Court recognized that the petitioner fell under the lowest priority category (Priority V) and did not meet the merit for appointment based on the recruitment notification's terms despite scoring above the cutoff.

#CandidateRights #PriorityBasedSelection

➡️ The petition was dismissed, with no relief granted to the petitioner.

→ The recruitment notification clearly specified a priority-based selection system, with Priority V candidates being considered only after fulfilling higher-priority vacancies.

→ The petitioner’s claim of exceeding the cutoff marks was insufficient since his lower priority status rendered him ineligible for selection under the prescribed rules.

Delhi gym trainer hit with five bullets as shooters open fire, two arrested

The police have arrested two accused in the case, while the third accused was revealed to have had a past rivalry with Ravi and his family for over 10 years.

In Delhi’s Trilokpuri, a young gym trainer was shot five times while he was warming himself up by a makeshift bonfire in a park. The victim has been identified as Ravi Yadav, 32, and is currently admitted to Max Hospital in critical condition. The Delhi Police have arrested two accused in the case, Rohit and Golu. It was revealed that another accused named Sunil alias Golu had an old rivalry with Ravi. 

The police said that Ravi’s family had a rivalry with the family for over 10 years and there are many cases filed against them too. Reportedly, both Ravi and the accused have a criminal past. 

A case of attempted murder has been registered against the accused and an investigation has begun in this connection.

The entire incident took place when Raju, who is a bodybuilder, was warming himself up by a fire along with his friends in a park. Ravi was initially rushed to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital where he was declared to be in critical condition and sent to Max Hospital in Patparganj. 

Speaking on the incident, DCP East Delhi Apoorva Gupta said, "Ravi Yadav’s family has a long-term rivalry with a family living in 13 Block, Kalyanpuri. These families apparently keep filing complaints and RTIs against each other. Yesterday, in a sessions court in Karkardooma, a heated debate happened between the two sides, which allegedly led to this incident. We are verifying the facts and the family’s statement is yet to be taken. We are questioning two of the three names accused by the victim. The search for the prime suspect is ongoing."

According to data by the Delhi Police, 30 per cent of the murders were attributed to sudden provocations or trivial issues, 22 per cent were due to enmity, 12 per cent were because of family disputes, 10 per cent were due to illicit relations, 8 per cent were committed by criminals, 4 per cent were unidentified bodies, and 6 per cent were due to ‘other reasons’. 

There were a total of 472 incidents reported in 2023 where firearms were used, while 428 such incidents were reported this year till November 30.

by Subhash Chandra Agrawal Most private banks in India are indulging in massive irregularities and malpractices with some of these irregularities highlighted in Inspection-Reports of these banks ever since Supreme Court ordered Reserve Bank of India (RBI) making such Inspection-Reports of banks public under RTI Act.

Closure of PMC Bank in Maharashtra even caused fatalities of several depositors. Many banks to boost their business provide excessive secured loans more than the real market value of the mortgaged property even though rules allow only some portion of the assessed value of the property for loan-purpose. This must be effectively checked by formulating a rule with retrospective effect whereby banks may be required to close the loan-account in case the borrower surrenders vacant possession of the mortgaged property unconditionally. Study may be made if some ban can be imposed on giving loan on self-occupied residential properties because in case of default, family of the loan-taker is the sufferer for fault/default of the loan-taker. Many private banks often get blank papers, loan-kits and cheques signed by the borrower and his family-members as guarantors to misuse in case of default of loans. Erring banks even do not give consumer-copy of the loan-kit to the borrowers. System should be that a copy of duly filled loan-kit and cheques may be compulsorily sent by Registered Post to the borrowers, guarantors and a specially set-up section of RBI within seven days of loan-disbursal so as to ensure that banks may not misuse any blank-signed document in case of default. Same should be applicable for Non-Banking-Financial-Companies (NBFCs). Several private banks have their sister-concerns as Insurance Companies and insurance of the borrower is done by that company. In case of death of the borrower, such Insurance Companies reject the claim on flimsy ground even after having charged insurance-premiums from the borrower, thus harassing surviving family-members of the borrower without paying any insurance-amount towards loan of the Bank. Since banks choose their own insurance-companies for insuring the borrower, onus should be on banks to receive insurance-amount from the insurance-company. Bank-accounts of government offices, Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and state-run corporations (both central and state governments) must be compulsorily only in public sector banks. Rather their employees should also have their salary-accounts in any of the branch of same public-sector bank for getting salaries through simple bank-transfer. Government-employees thereafter may shift funds to any bank of their choice.

There were serious allegations of favouritism with a particular private bank for having salary-accounts of employees of a government department in Maharashtra because wife of a heavyweight political ruler was a senior executive in that private bank. Using public-sector banks will increase deposits and profitability of public-sector banks and ensure safety of public-money. RBI-bonds should be issued only through public-sector banks and companies. Once there was a news-item that China Central Bank had tried to raise its stake in HDFC Bank from .8 percent to 1.1 percent with China Central Bank already holding about 17.5 million shares in HDFC Bank. Even though Indian Government subsequently tightened rules for increasing such stake, yet the episode developed a feeling of uncertainty amongst investors in RBI bonds made through HDFC Bank. RBI-bonds should be auto-renewed, if so desired by investor, on maturity at interest-rate prevailing at time of maturity. Frequent change of account-numbers by banks should be prevented by making it mandatory for all banks to allot 15-digit account-numbers including in SCSS, PPF and other government-saving accounts with first two digits recognizing the particular bank. Instead of introducing 5-day week in banks, banks should rather work on all the seven days of the week including even on public-holidays. Bank-employees can be given two-days weekly-off by rotation. Public-holidays can be made banking-days with limited staff by giving some extra bonus to bank-employees coming on duty on a public-holiday. Night-clearing should be introduced so that all cheques deposited by close of banking-hours may be cleared by next morning. Lok Sabha on 03.12.2024 passed “The Banking Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2024” whereby now it will be possible to have four successive nominations in bank accounts and deposits or else opting for simultaneous nominations. But since presently banks also handle government savings-schemes like DEMAT, Senior Citizen Savings Scheme (SCSS), Public Provident Fund (PPF) etc, provision of successive nomination should be automatically applicable on all such schemes. Details of nominations should be printed on pass-books also to make it easier for nominee/s to claim deposit-money in case of death of account-holder/depositor. Huge balance is lying in inoperative accounts and unclaimed matured deposits in banks with many account-holders/depositors having forgotten about their bank-accounts. RBI has made Know-Your-Customer (KYC) mandatory also for closing such inoperative accounts. Such cumbersome practice also creates a big loss of man-hours of bank-employees. Frauds are reported through some bank-employees misappropriating funds in inoperative accounts. RBI should direct all banks to inform account-holders/depositors through Registered Post about their existing balance and to approach banks either to make accounts operative or close these in a time-bound period after which all such balances may be transferred to Depositor-Educative-Awareness-Fund (DEAF). All banks especially public-sector ones should have common and uniform style of forms used for various banking-purposes with provision to download the same after filling on the computer like is facility available for application-forms for passports. Additional facility to email computer-filled forms with necessary enclosures like copies of ID proof, PAN-card etc to the Bank can save huge man-hours of bank-staff in re-filling all details on computer apart from eliminating any chance of wrong entry in computers. Customers can go to banks for verification of such emailed computer-filled forms. System should be formulated whereby all requirements like Minimum Balance, interest-rates, bank-charges and other procedures may be uniform for all public-sector banks.
